You're regular as clockwork Birkmyre! Nice tempo stuff from Johny as well.
Me: 6.6M, around Knowle and Wickam. Beautiful day in Hampshire.
away on a course again and went out for my usual loop through the countryside round the hotel first thing this morning, started off chilly and foggy but ended up sunny and warm. Hillier than i'm used to round here so happy just to pootle round. aiming to do the same tomorrow morning - have to do something to work off the vast amounts you get fed here!
5.4m in 53m.
Supposed to be tapering this week for this Saturday's half marathon - it's a very hilly one, so I'll be hiking most of it
6.72 miles on Tue, 8.62 miles Wed & 7.64 miles today... it'll be a rest day tomorrow.
Cheers birkmyre.
Another two days of "cycle commuting plus running 5.6 miles at lunchtime" for me. So, 28 miles of lunchtime running this week to get me back into things ... need a couple of longer runs though, as I've definitely lost quite a bit of aerobic fitness this month.
Just caught up on the previous posts after wondering what all this 'wishes' to Dr Dan was about - sorry DD, would like to add my best wishes here too...
Looks like you're getting up to speed again very quickly though
And thanks, birkmire...my first hike of the year!
Saying that, I've just joined the Long Distance Walking Association and will be joining them for a 20mile walk very shortly. Doing this as part of my ultra training - apparently they go at quite a pace! I may have to jog to keep up
Evening folks- thought I'd pop in as gradually getting back to it after my injury earlier this yr. Managed VLM in 4.45 without any lasting damage but have stuck to shorter runs since.
This wk I did Hereford cross country through the lovely Bulmers Orchards but with a few leg sapping hills, was just not able to keep it up for the 2 laps & had a sneaky walk on the last hill.
Club run last night up & down Elan Valley hills as usual, stunning scenary but blimming awful horseflies.
Glad to see you got your SVT sorted DD!
another hilly run yesterday morning down south, only this time decided to run the loop the other way round, which meant that instead of the long slow hill followed by the steep drop at the halfway point, it was the steep climb followed by the slow descent. Was never going to get up it all in one go so decided to treat it as a hill rep session, ran up it for as long as i could manage, then turned round and walked back down for 30s then had another go at running up it a bit more. Made it up in four goes so fairly happy with that. Long hill at the end of it then hurt, but again made it up in one piece so can't argue. Work BBQ tonight, which means eating my bodyweight in meat. Tomorrow's long run may be fun
5.8m in 56.18
Nice.
Hi folks - good running Solent Runner, 25M just like that! Well done the likes of Hanna, Camlo and Mr Consistency Birkmyre.....
Me: 10.4M in 1h25m. Pleased with that, faster than a LSR, undulating route, and still feeling pretty good at the end.
Workmanlike performance, a bit like the Dutch just now in the World Cup! All ticking over nicely....
OH MY GOD- just re-read my post from yesterday & realised the word 'injury' had been changed to a link. Thinking I had made a boob I clicked on it & it took me to a claim page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not seen that before.
Anyhoo- good to see you are still running & posting D2D-impressive mileage & racing, just cringed at the thoughts of your olives-YUCK.
Feeling really stressed earlier so abandoned the children with grandma & went for a steady trot. Felt sluggish & tight until about 4-5 miles when suddenly aches eased so I added a bit to take advantage of the freedom!
9 miles in 1.28
bike-1 (but passed me twice)
barking dogs -3 grrrr nearly wet myself when 1 appeared suddenly & nearly jumped his fence
unicorns-0
10 miles last night in 1.26. Lovely evening to do it, wanted to add on an extra 3 miles at the end, but my achilles is playing up and had to limp up the final hill! Ice and rest today before crossfit tomorrow.
Going to buy some new Kayanos this afternoon before the VAT goes up
Completed the Munro half marathon yesterday - they said add 20-30% of your road time to it, and I added nearly 100% to mine!
Still, I finished it in one piece!
Did a run on the trails earlier to keep the muscles in working order - don't want them cramping up after yesterday's hills and steps. 10.65miles / 1:45
Morning people
10M into work in 1.19. Easy route, with a few easy down hills early on to get the legs moving.
Lovely morning here in Hampshire.
well a migraine put paid to any thoughts of running yesterday, but thankfully slept it off and got out today for my long run. hard work, but it was warm out there. pleased to get round really after yesterday.
9.4m in 1.33
Hello, folks! Been MOA for a few weeks but still think about the thread.
Last Wednesday was the 3rd anniversary of me running every day. For the stattos, that's 1096 days and 6466 miles covered. Some way to go to catch Ron Hill, PhD but 'tis a start lol.
0800 Five miles around Crosby Coastal Park on grass, trails & paths - beautiful, fresh morning with a light breeze but really warm as well!
Good luck & good running!
Well done swittle ... great achievement!
I managed 11+ miles yesterday and 7+ miles today ... 50 miles in the last 9 days, so back on track now after my break. Sill some work to do to recapture May's fitness levels.
p.s. It was VERY HOT today!!!
